At 5 ft. 9 in. [1.75 m] and 150 lbs. [70 kg], he looks like a sparrow in shorts next to the burly 'hatchetmen' who triple-team him ... Best's revenge is 'to make them feel so inferior they'll never want to play football again.' He does it with speed, deception and an uncanny skill for controlling the ball...
...instructs the reader on how to minimize the risks: Quitting smoking by the time you're 30 mitigates almost all of the damage from smoking; taking a dose of 1600 IUs of extract of prickly pear cactus before drinking will reduce your hangover; it's healthy to drop 10 lbs. in a few weeks for a wedding or beach vacation without changing your lifestyle, if you don't mind regaining most of the weight.
